Home Minister urged to ensure peace on troubled campus
Thursday, 16 April 2009
Vice-chancellor (VC) of Jahangirnagar University (JU) Dr Sharif Enamul Kabir Wednesday sought help from the Home Minister in restoring peaceful atmosphere on the JU campus, troubled by a series of student clashes, reports UNB.
"We want a peaceful atmosphere on the campus. We sought the Home Minister's intervention so the miscreants are not able to conduct their terror activities on the campus," he told the journalists after a meeting with Home Minister Adv Sahara Khatun at her Secretariat office in the city Wednesday. In response to a question, the VC said the Home Minister assured that everything possible would be done to ensure law and order on the campus and free it from terrorism.
Mentioning the series of clashes on the campus over the last few months, Dr Sharif alleged that those who earlier used to work for Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal now acted in the guise of Chhatra League to destabilise the JU campus.
His apprehension adds credence to Prime Minister and Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina's observations about infiltration of extraneous elements into the BCL and her relinquishing the student body's organisational leadership in the wake of factional clashes.
